Kayaking in Deception Pass State Park

Overview
No experience is necessary to join this professionally guided kayak trip. Bowman Bay is the perfect place for beginners to feel comfortable paddling on the sea. It offers beautiful scenery and lots of wildlife to seek out. Although this trip is conducted in Deception Pass State Park we avoid the turbulent water near the bridge which is more suitable for expert kayakers. If you plan to visit Deception Pass State Park then don't miss this wonderful opportunity to see it from the unique perspective of a sea kayak!

Jake and Ryan were great guides! They made sure that our Great Old Broads for Wilderness group of--well, old broads--was comfortable and safe in the kayaks before we even launched. Most of us were inexperienced, and they were very helpful with tips on technique (I wasn’t sore the next day!) as well as being knowledgeable about the natural history of the area. They made it a fun and educational experience for all.

This was my first time sea kayaking and I really enjoyed it. The length was great for an introduction to the activity. Guides were awesome. Would recommend!

Liam, our guide, was very skilled and knowledgeable. The weather was perfection & there were Dahl's porpoises,a bald eagle, pigeon guillemotes with their bright red legs and feet, seals & sparkly tiny silver fish jumping up a foot out of the water to avoid being a seal's lunch!
